I'm now looking if I can go a different direction where...
1) Read All The Txt files in a Folder
2a) If folder is Items
2b) If folder is Blocks
2c) If Folder is Enemies
2d) If Folder is "Theme" (THeme includes Music, Physics and Tileset)
2e) Levels and Game Modes

In General, you will only load what items you put in (Possibly only a certain amount to avoid slowdown)
-that data will be stored in a text doc

What will happen, is that each level stores in Text Doc
-Locations of Blocks and Tiles
-Types of Blocks
-Type of Tileset
-Music
-Type of Physics

-For Preview-It will load...
-Locations-of Blocks and Tiles
-Blocks-Picture only
-Tileset-Picture only
-Music-Only if Random Mode is not on (Random Mode would be a mode that Makes random music form your playlist play) (Personally I question even needing to have music stored in the game since someone can play stuff from a playlist or an IPod with speakers... etc... etc... but whatever)
--Play Music when Press Play button

For the Game
-It will load everything that a Level needs


Each Game Mode
-Game Modes decides Where enemies come from


I'll edit this more Later

Man, you're on FIRE!!!

Don't forget that we're adding a SIMPLE Theme maker for the game too so it's easier to make the themes for the game. Sure it's extra work, but it saves coding space for future versions![I hope...]

You've really figured this out all the way!
